They slept SOOOOO long last night...after such a busy day! Went to bed around 8pm, and they didn't wake me until 7:30 am. Nice!

We had some set-backs today...poor Gremlin got his head stuck in between the gate and fence today, and freaked out before i could get to him. So of course they were all rattled...hearing their brother screaming bloody murder. Then after they were all doing well, my adults all came running down the steps and trampled three puppies...scared the crap out of them...of course it was the more fearful ones anyway (they were at the bottom waiting for me). Not the most positive experiences today!

They did get some good playtime in though...and had a great time playing with Uncle Figgy. We got stacked pics today...and individual portraits.

Not sure...these are the first pups I've had to find homes for. The rescue also has two other litters right now...so we're pushing these first, since they're blacks and brindles...rather than the cool "rare" colors.

I keep threatening to have a dye day at the shelter and turn all the blacks and brindles into red heads and goths...would it work?

Are brindles slow to be adopted, too? I'd heard that black dogs are typically the last to go, which is honestly the first reason I paid attention to River when we were looking to adopt; seemed like such a stupid reason to overlook a dog, and while she has her problems (ahem, non-stop bratty barking for more treats in her treat ball), she's such an amazing, bomb-proof pup. And she was pulled from the shelter by her foster momma on her D-Day.

But I'd never heard that about brindles. They're honestly my favorite!

So, of course, seeing that Gremlin is actually a light brindle, and knowing he might be a hard sell, is doing absolutely NOTHING for this terrible case of puppy fever... Adam's not very good at abating it, so I keep threatening to come down with baby fever instead!

Really, Erin...this is amazing what you already have there and now these chubbas.

I almost dropped Charger this morning, I scooped him up with one hand, while holding another puppy with my left hand. Charger was so heavy, I almost dropped him! He was one of the biggest ones at the vet visit (9 lbs) so I'm guessing he's at least 11 now...a very wiggly 11 lbs. I don't carry him and Hudson at the same time...they're HUGE. Dart, Shelby and Falcon are still on the small side.
